N-Butyl Bromide Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 1-Bromobutane
- Butyl Bromide
- N-BuBr
N-Butyl bromide, also called 1-bromobutane, is a straight-chain alkyl bromide intermediate for Malaysian procurement enquiries. It is a clear colourless to pale yellow liquid used in industrial and laboratory synthesis.
Market options include technical grade and high-purity or synthesis grade material, with selection based on the required assay and free-acid limit. The product is practically insoluble in water and should be ordered against the buyer's process or laboratory specification.
Applications include butylation in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis, Grignard reagent preparation, and manufacture of quaternary ammonium compounds, phase-transfer catalysts, dyes and other downstream intermediates. N-Butyl bromide is specifically 1-bromobutane, not 2-bromobutane, tert-butyl bromide or n-butyl chloride.

N-Butyl Bromide applications
Common questions about n-butyl bromide
Is n-butyl bromide the same as 1-bromobutane?
Same material. N-Butyl bromide is the trade name and 1-bromobutane is the systematic name for the straight-chain molecule with formula C4H9Br.
Is n-butyl bromide the same as 2-bromobutane or tert-butyl bromide?
No. N-Butyl bromide is 1-bromobutane; 2-bromobutane and tert-butyl bromide are distinct isomers and should be specified separately. N-Butyl chloride is also a different chemical.
Which n-butyl bromide grades can I enquire about?
Technical and high-purity or synthesis grades are covered. Send the required assay, free-acid limit, intended synthesis and quantity so the quotation can be matched to the purchasing specification.
What is n-butyl bromide used for?
It is used as an alkylating intermediate, in Grignard reagent preparation, and in manufacture of quaternary ammonium compounds, phase-transfer catalysts and selected downstream intermediates.
What information should I provide for a quotation?
Provide the name n-butyl bromide or 1-bromobutane, required grade and specification, quantity, packing preference, application and delivery location.
What packing and documents are available for n-butyl bromide?
State the preferred packing and required documents with the enquiry. Available packing, documentation, delivery arrangements and commercial terms are confirmed with the quotation.
